The Iowa Department of Transportation reports that area roadways are completely snow covered and slick. Ramps are in varied conditions, and bridges are icy. A tow ban is in place in Marion County.

If you choose to travel today, take plenty of time to get to your destination, and give our first responders and road crews plenty of time to work. Don’t crowd the plow.

The one to count on for the winter weather information and road conditions is KNIA/KRLS.
